Hi,
Can anyone help please... I am confused about the difference between Windows Media Format 11 SDK and the Windows Media Encoder 9 package and which I should be using to encode to WMA 10 and edit WMA tags... which does dbpoweramp use for example? I got some editing of tags going in WMF11SDK but it's hard work and encoding is even harder.
Thanks,
William

WMF11 SDK is the latest it includes WMA 9.5 and the Pro v10 codecs.

OK WMFSDK11 is the latest and best to use and that's what dbpoweramp uses.
For the record I think WME9 does also support WMA 10 Pro and is easier to use, can even be used on the command line.
I got this on the command line in WME9:
---------------------------------------
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Components\Encoder>cscript.exe wmcmd.vbs -a_codecs
gives:
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6

Audio Codecs:
CBR Mode :

[1] WMA9PRO : Windows Media Audio 10 Professional
---------------------------------------
However, I can't see how to set all the tags including "ALBUM ARTIST". I will works on this because command line WME is going to be the easiest route and figuring out the Wrappers to use WMF11SDK in C* is killing me :blush:

No i think it's impossible to edit more than a few tags in WME9. That's after two hours looking on Google. There was one tempting article at:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms867702.aspx
which said:
Metadata in Windows Media Encoder - Windows Media Encoder provides support for the five core attributes as part of the session properties. You can add other attributes as custom values.
but I can't see anyone getting there. I will go back to WMF11SDK. Urgh
